Help! The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama!

Chapter 601: Chapter 548: It’s the First Time Someone Said Thank You to Me (2)

The situation is urgent, Shen Tang went straight to the point, ”We’ve obtained a tree seed that can purify polluted lands, but one is not enough. We need Fu Teng’s help to accelerate its growth.”

Fu Teng was taken aback. There is actually something that can purify polluted lands?

Though she dislikes Beastmen, she hates polluted lands even more. That filthy and foul-smelling place causes even plants to wither, making survival difficult.

Shen Tang handed the seed to Fu Teng, asking her to try catalyzing it.

Unlike the Beastmen who have a weak connection with plants, the instant Fu Teng touched the seed, she felt the immense power within that made her Divine Soul tremble!

This is absolutely a priceless treasure!

She almost wanted to flee with the treasure, but unfortunately, Shen Li and the others were watching too closely, so she had to plant the seed in the soil and use her power to spur it to grow.

Strands of green energy were injected into the seed, and soon, the seed broke through the soil and germinated, slowly growing into a seedling.

Fu Teng’s strength had recovered to the Sixth Rank, normally capable of easily nurturing a towering tree, yet with this seedling, she seemed to exhaust all her strength, her enchanting face gradually turning pale, while the sapling only grew knee-high.

Her body lost strength and fell backward, fortunately being caught by Shen Tang behind her.

Before she could savor the moment, a silver-white figure had already sent her flying.

”Ow! Don’t you have any sense? I’ve been working for you and now you want to kill me? I’m done!” Fu Teng shouted in pain as she lay on the ground in embarrassment.

Xue Yinzhou sneered, ”Then there’s no need for you to live.”

He had long found her displeasing and wanted to chop her up for firewood.

Fu Teng immediately fell silent, the pain in her waist and leg vanished, and she scrambled up, putting on a fawning smile, ”I-I was just saying!”

Shen Tang handed her a bottle of Recovery Potion, speaking softly, ”Thank you for your hard work, take a rest and drink some potion to recover your strength.”

Fu Teng was moved to the brink of tears; indeed, Xiao Gua is the best!

Shen Tang truly feared exhausting her, as there is no second Fu Teng in this world.

Fu Teng drank the potion and rallied her strength again. The sapling grew slowly, and three days later, it finally developed into a large tree.

The Purification Tree resembled a weeping willow, with slender branches like ribbons, scattering pure white energy like willow catkins in the wind, drifting into the distance.

Whether passersby, Beastmen working in fields, or warriors hunting in the wild, all who came into contact with this pure white energy experienced an indescribable purifying force, feeling as if both body and soul were cleansed.

Shen Tang tried to have Fu Teng graft tree branches to accelerate reproduction, but unfortunately, the grafted branches eventually withered and died, unable to survive, relying solely on seed germination.

The petals from the Purification Tree were also pure white, containing sacred purifying power, and after producing five seeds, it would quickly wilt.

...

Greenfield City.

City Lord Shi Ye and his wife Song Wan hadn’t seen Shen Tang in a long time. Hearing she was coming with the Beastmen, they eagerly waited at the city gate early.

Greenfield City and surrounding towns, as the frontier of polluted lands, endured great pressure. In just over a year, Shi Ye visibly aged, his temples already frosted with white.

Shen Tang brought many gifts for the elderly couple, including Revitalizing Pills exchanged from the System Mall, capable of strengthening the body and prolonging life.

Upon learning their purpose, Shi Ye immediately led elite forces to personally escort them to the border of polluted lands.

The land originally belonging to the Empire had been eroded by polluted lands, with low-tier and mid-tier Mutant Species wandering about, occasionally high-level ones appearing, killing many Beastman citizens.

Xiao Jin and others cleared the surrounding Mutant Beasts; this would become the first experimental field.

Shen Tang entrusted five seeds to Fu Teng, instructing her to catalyze them and then produce new seeds.

Fu Teng looked at her and earnestly said, ”Xiao Gua, catalyzing these purification seeds consumes too much energy. With my current strength, I can only catalyze one tree seed every three days. This speed is far too slow and can’t keep pace with the spread of pollution. I need to have greater power to be able to catalyze more seeds.”

The implication was clear—she needed stronger power.

All this time, Fu Teng has deliberately suppressed her strength breakthrough, fearing they would see her as a thorn in their side to be eliminated.

But if she were left to grow unchecked, this heartless and indifferent Cannibal Ghost Vine would become completely uncontrollable, and the first to be revenge-killed would be them!

Shen Tang stepped forward, took her hand, and looked at her seriously, ”Fu Teng, I have some sincere words I want to tell you.”

The skin of Plant Beastmen was also cool to the touch and lacked warmth, but unlike Snake Beastmen or Mermaid Beastmen, it had a texture more akin to plants.

Fu Teng sensed the soft palm of the Beastman female, her body stiffened, and subconsciously met her pure and earnest eyes, feeling a bit dazed.

Being led by her to a secluded place.
